Chapter 3
Carl started working right away. He first made charcoal, and then made forging tools, such as hammers and pliers. He used a hammer to melt all the iron, and then poured it into a mold made of clay. When it cooled, he could just insert a wooden stick. There was no need to forge it. The pliers were a bit complicated, but that was it. In the One Piece world, people with special bloodlines are monsters themselves, and with Carl's devil fruit, it was even easier.
After making the tools, the real forging process began. As we all know, iron loses its internal impurities during the continuous forging process. Carl had prepared a lot of food before, and now forging cannot be stopped. Carl also felt that resting in the middle might affect the steel, so he prepared food and planned to forge for 18,000 years.
……
A week later, Carl walked out of the wooden house holding a sword. This was a sword that Carl made based on the Seven Star Sword in the movie"The Cursed Holy Sword" in One Piece.
The sword is 2.1 meters long. Although there are no exquisite patterns, it is already the pinnacle of Carl's current production.
Carl held the hilt of the sword and walked out to an open space outside the house and began to test the sword. He spread his wings and ignited the fire in his body. At the same time, the beastman form of the devil fruit was activated. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to a huge tree trunk, held the hilt with both hands, exerted force on his waist, and chopped it with the sword.
The tree trunk was directly cut off.
"It's OK. It's still good at this stage where you haven't mastered Haki yet."
"Now it's officially time to hunt,"hehehe"
Carl said as he cancelled his beastman form and flew deep into the forest.
Carl kept fighting with the beasts in the forest, and he had to avoid killing them. While practicing his swordsmanship, he also deliberately practiced his own observation Haki.
According to the anime, observation Haki is not awakened by being beaten or some people are born with keen senses. Although Carl has the blood of the Lunaria tribe who call themselves gods, he dare not be arrogant. It is better to develop steadily. YY will only be left to useless people.
……
In this way, a Kun year passed, and time came to the 1495th year of the Haiyuan calendar.
A half-grown child flew out of the forest, with white hair, brown skin, red pupils, and black wings.
He looked about ten years old.
Carl's physical fitness has improved wildly in the past two and a half years.
All this is not only due to his own strong genes but also depends on this devil fruit.
After three years of understanding this devil fruit, it has been determined that this is a fantasy beast species, but he doesn't know what it is called, so Carl gave it a name [Animal System•Dragon Dragon Fruit•Fantasy Beast Species•Black King Nidhogg Form].
Don't get it wrong, this Nidhogg is not the poisonous dragon in the Western fantasy, but the ancestor of all dragons in"Dragon Clan" [Black King Nidhogg]. Carl thinks that this fruit is definitely not original to this world, and it may be brought from his previous world, because there is a legend in the pirate world that most devil fruits are manifested by people, and the more people believe in or need it, the greater the probability of this fruit appearing.
Carl's devil fruit gave him two inherent attributes, lightning and fire. Lightning can reach about 2000 volts, and fire can reach 1500 degrees.
Carl thought it was his problem. After all, no matter how much he trained, he could not get rid of the fact that he was still a child. The next step was swordsmanship and domineering awakening. Not to mention, Carl was particularly strong in learning after the fusion of two souls and his own rebirth.
According to the level of swordsmanship in One Piece, Carl guessed that he should be at the most basic [Swordsman Advanced], and he was still far from the top and breaking through to the realm of swordsman.
(I divide swordsmanship into: swordsman-swordsman-great swordsman; each small realm is: primary-intermediate-advanced-top)
Carl's observation Haki has also made initial progress.
It's not that he is not talented or not working hard enough.
Carl is completely crossing the river by feeling the stones, knowing nothing, just like a blind man.
Fortunately, after two and a half years of exploring Haki, he really figured out some things.
He found that the reason why Haki is called Haki is that it is related to the Qi of one's own ability.
The most famous owner of Observation Haki is Roger.
His Haki can listen to everything.
Then Carl deduced Observation Haki based on this.
After continuous practice, Carl's Armament Haki can already cover his hands.
Although Carl is still very weak now, his two-color Haki has awakened, just waiting for his Conqueror Haki. Carl has inferred that Conqueror Haki should be the aura of a strong man, and after Red Hair Shanks became one of the Four Emperors, Conqueror Haki can become a substance to cause attacks, which should also be a means. You must know that Shanks' Observation Haki is also very abnormal, directly blocking other people's Observation Haki.
And Carl's Conqueror Haki has not awakened now, which means he lacks a heart or attitude to become a strong man. Just like Zoro in Wano Country has always been disliked by Enma, until he awakened Conqueror Haki and barely subdued him (and was sucked in later). So Carl feels that he is not inferior to anyone, but the time has not come yet.
……
A month later.
A ship with a skull flag was heading towards the island where Carl was. The skull flag had a golden beard on it. A black-bearded man was standing on the guardrail at the bow, baring his white teeth.
"Hahaha, there is an island ahead, go full speed ahead."
Because it was a calm belt, the crew could only go into the cabin and paddle, so the boat was sailing a little slowly.
At this time, some sea kings nearby saw a boat and immediately rushed towards the bearded man's boat like flies smelling shit.
The bearded man drew out the sword from his waist without any panic, and suddenly a stream of red, black and a small amount of purple burst out from the blade, and there was lightning lingering around, making a particularly harsh hissing sound.
The sea kings far away sank to the bottom of the sea with foam in their mouths, and those close by were directly shaken into a bloody mist.
……
"Um?"
"Whose aura is it, and why is it so strong?"
Carl stopped swinging the sword in his hand.
He flapped his wings and flew to check. After flying out of the forest, he saw a ship coming not far from his island. He couldn't see the people and flags on the ship clearly, and could only vaguely see the outline of a skull.
Carl frowned and almost retreated behind the crowd, but unfortunately there was no one here.
After a struggle in his heart, he still decided to wait and see.
If it was a weak pirate group, he would kill them directly, which would be a good opportunity to improve their living environment and food.
If they were stronger than him, he would fly away and never contact them.
More than ten minutes later, the pirate ship slowly approached the shore.
Carl counted twenty or thirty people coming down from it.
Only then did he remember to look at the pirate flag clearly, which was a skull with a golden beard.
